I did the roof vent and I'm glad I did. Gets the exhaust out faster if I don't have both ramps open, and with the summer camper set-up it helps keep it cooler. Didn't do the fuel doors as I thought I wouldn't always have the sleds loaded by them and with the shorter hoses on the pumps today I...

Saw this on the webcam tonight. I thought once the bridge was raised it stayed up all summer. Did they start something different for the ATV's? Seems too low for boat traffic now.

Just tried a new way to do this age old chore... Instead of shucking the corn before boiling it we threw them straight into the pot, then after about 15 minutes of boiling we took them out, cut off the bottom of the husk/cob and squeezed the top. They slid right out of the husk with no silk...

My company just bought a couple buildings that had been used as rental units for the past several years. We will use them as a group home set-up to help people be self sufficient after completing some treatment programs. When I did the walk through in one unit I saw this black film on the...

Didn't know this guy or his background until I read the story, but always nice to see a small town yooper hit the big stage. http://www.foxsports.com/nascar/story/hendrick-motorsports-names-greg-ives-crew-chief-for-dale-earnhardt-jr-in-2015-073014

Anyone been here or know anything about it? Thinking of going in early Oct, hoping to catch the colors. Have any suggested campsites or ones to stay away from? Besides hiking and the falls, any other things to see/do in the area?

I know it's only July, but trying to plan a couple weekends up north in Sept and Oct. Typically there are a few groups doing trail work in the UP that post their events here. Anyone have those dates set, or at least traditionally (for example, always the 3rd Sat of Sept) set yet?

Here are a few more for you Ezra. I took an old piece of nylon that came with a tent (the sheet you hang in the middle to make it a two room tent) put some eyelets in it and hooks up on the back wall. Was able to use it as a shade so we could change or be inside at night without everyone...

Comes out easy. 12 screws not counting the ones in the door hinges. Take the door off, then take out the header over the door, then 2 in the floor and 2 in the ceiling and one side panel comes, then repeat for the other panel. I built them snug, and after they are screwed in they don't move...

I realize many of you won't find a "family vacation" video as cool as a sled video, but I've had so many different comments going in various threads about finishing my trailer for camping, different places to camp in the UP and the mosquitos/black fly status I figured I'd combine them all into...

Wife is kicking me too as I think about going back for another summer camp trip, fall colors and I didn't even mention this winter for the ride-in and other weekends :) Glad we went to the Jam Pot, but also glad we did it on the way home and didn't make a special trip for it. My in-laws used...

I know this is a ways away and many things can influence when things change, but is there a general timeframe that the UP's colors typically turn? Trying to do some planning for a fall trip and while I won't hold you to it, I'm trying to narrow down a window of time.

Just got back. Great trip! Bewabic was a nice park. Good sites, we picked a great one from the online maps and photos. Worked well for us with the location of the elec and fire ring since the trailer has the door and power plug on the opposite side as an RV. No need for any bug spray while...

Came out pretty good. I figure I can convert between sled hauler and camper or back in under an hour. Have a wall in the rear ramp door set just inside the spring, built in 2 sections with a header in between and a screen door, 12 screws hold the whole thing in place. Screen door on the side...

Finished the lighting and some of the "camping" amenities tonight. Here are the lights, LED's, only put in three for now, dimmer works good but I probably won't put more than 1 or 2 more in after we see how it works out. Almost as bright as I'd ever want it with just these 3 installed...

Well almost everything for it to be a "sled" trailer is done. Just need to mount the 110v lights and fill in the last section in the V where the battery is mounted. That's going to take some time so I'm holding out on that until after the camping trip. Same with the diamond plate inside along...

Here's an update. By tomorrow night I should be done with the frp, the e-track and the electric except for the ceiling lights. I'll wire those and install the diamond plate on the sides in a few weeks as I'm running out of time now. I also need to re-install the aluminum trim that acts as a...

Ok, I'm a pretty good natured, give both sides a fair say kind of guy. In fact many people will say they rarely see me get upset or outspoken, but..... Doesn't the Government have better things to do than give the nation spotlight to some special interest group that just looks for fights to...

Maybe this

Well I’ve started to finish mine off. After a lot of planning I’ve finally settled on what I’m doing. I’m leaving the floor alone, didn’t seem to have any issues last season tearing it up with studs and like Ezra said a while back, it’s easier to walk on it without tracks and tie downs in...
